Chapter 139: If you don't obey, you will pay the price



I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Since you don't care about your son's life or death and still want to disgust me before you die, I will grant your wish.

He immediately shook his sleeves, stood up, bowed slightly to the Queen Mother, and offered his hand to help her up, saying, "Queen Mother, thank you for your help today. I will take you back to the palace."

Although the two are not biological mother and son, and were even enemies before, since Zhao Cui cooperated with him so well today, he didn't mind giving Zhao Cui some face in front of others.

As the saying goes, if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard.

Although Zhao Cui was a little surprised, she did not refuse. She let him help her walk back, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty, state affairs are more important. Just let someone else take me back. If Your Majesty is willing, please come and sit with me when you are free. I will be very satisfied."

Zhao Xin didn't force it. He smiled faintly and said, "Of course. I was busy with state affairs in the past and neglected to ask about your well-being. I will certainly not neglect it in the future."

As he spoke, he had already turned into the back hall and happened to see Lin Yuyan and the other two coming over to express their gratitude.

Then he smiled and said, "Thank you for now, Yuyan. The Queen Mother understands that I am tired from state affairs, so please take her back to the palace to rest for me.

What does the Queen Mother think?

Upon hearing this, Cui Yuyan quickly composed herself and responded respectfully.

Zhao Cui also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful. I like this child too. It's just right to let her send me off."

Then he turned to Nangong Yanran and said, "Nangong, if you don't mind, come and sit in my palace together."

She probably felt that Lin Nangong was awkward, and Nangong was not appropriate, so she just called him Nangong.

Although Nangong Yanran could not speak, her mind was clear. She quickly squatted down and saluted, and then she and Cui Yuyan, one on each side, accompanied Zhao Cui out of the Zichen Hall and went straight to Xingqing Palace.

Only Lin Yuchen stayed behind. He knew that the emperor must have something to say if he kept him here.

At the same time, after Zhao Xin left, Cao Xiong took a step forward, unfolding a yellow silk in his hand, and said in a sharp voice:

"Prime Minister Cui Cen deceived the late emperor and murdered loyal officials. He then relied on his favor to gain control of the government and deceived the emperor.

He also secretly sent his followers to incite the ministers and force the emperor to abdicate. He also sent his son to hide his own soldiers in Cuiping Mountain, west of Beijing, to plot evil. There were dozens of other crimes, which are too numerous to list and unforgivable!

All his titles were immediately revoked, he was demoted to a commoner, and returned to his residence to await trial by the officials.

His son, the Imperial Court Justice Cui Zhihan, secretly hid his own army and plotted rebellion. Although he was executed, his crime was not pardoned, so he was beheaded and executed in public.

His second son, Grand Minister of Agriculture Cui Zhihao, was also guilty of the same crime..."

Cao Xiong said this, glanced at Cui Cen, and then slowly said: "Lingchi three thousand cuts, then thrown into the public!"

When Cui Cen heard this, his head buzzed, and he fainted on the ground...

Cao Xiong, however, showed no mercy. Instead, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. Several people who were close by seemed to hear him murmur softly: "His Majesty has shown you the way. If you don't follow it, you will pay the price!"
